Last Friday, we had our NAIDOC incursion with Leonard Thorne, a Noongar man from Boddington. We learnt about the bush environment and how animals needed each other to survive. If you kill too many animals of the same species, the animals that feed on that species would have to change their diet to survive. Leonard talked about how Aboriginal people are connected through their totems. Then we did a little activity about how animals and plants are connected through a food web. Leonard showed us a table with weapons, sticks, plants, foods, animals eggs (pretend ones) and much more. He spoke about how important Aboriginal Law is and the need for kids to listen to their elders. We sang nursery rhymes in Noongar language. Then we asked questions and he answered them all. We all had a really great time.
